Winemaking at Es Fangar

Fun Facts & Background Stories

Biodiversity

amazing helpers in mid-air

Beehives across Es Fangar

The birds from our 400 ha nature reserve peck at the ripe grapes; the juice runs out and whole bunches would rot… usually. But at Es Fangar beehives are scattered throughout our grounds. The bees enjoy the sweet juice, hollowing out any punctured grapes and preventing them from moulding. We just looove our busy helpers!

Gravitational Movement

tailor-made technology

A Monorail for Grapes

Usually, winemakers pump grapes into the tanks, end up crushing them with brute force and lose quality. Not so at Es Fangar. We use a tailor-made solution to carefully transport the grapes into the tanks in perfect condition. Check out our electrified monorail system by EISENMANN S.A. the next time you visit. You’ll want to play with it!

Sustainable Energy

a holistic approach

Keeping it Clean and Healthy

We know, nearly everyone nowadays has a solar panel on their roof… but since we only do things all the way we installed over 620sqm to cover most of our energy usage . But our devotion for health does not stop there. Es Fangar has over 50 bikes for our team to keep the environment clean and us healthy. We looove being sporty!

Making it Clear

the extra mile...

Around the world for quality

And you really thought your regular wine was free of any animal products? Usually, wines are cleared with animal proteins made from fish, pigs or eggs. That’s easy, cheap and efficient. Yes, you guessed right – we do it differently. We actually travelled to the other side of the planet to find a way to make our processes “more difficult”, but our wines deserve the best. Organic, plant- and clay-based methods maximize quality and taste. We don’t compromise on quality, ever!

Lunar Calendar

Howling at the Moon

Just kidding! No, we are not weird, just a bit different! Have you watched the ocean move because of the moon? Lunar calendars date back to 8000 BC, so we can’t be that wrong! Working with the lunar calendar and the lunar phases tells us what steps to take in viticulture and winemaking, e.g. when we want to pamper and take care of our vineyards and wines to the absolute maximum. We love having the moon, the sun and the stars as our powerful allies.

Diverse Terroir

keeping it cool

Earth, Wind, Fire, Water

Climate, soil, geographic positioning. That is what terroir means. Did you know? We obviously have a high diversity of what’s called terroir. A special microclimate between the hills with strong, cool winds. Our grapes love the breeze, just like you do at 40 degrees… The soil is a potent cocktail of delicious minerals which help our vines to produce powerful wines. Not for sissies, that’s for sure! And last but not least, the geography… who doesn’t just love Mallorca?!
